We've just fixed this issue in build #477: http://downloads.vladonai.com/Install_AllMyNotes_2_51_b477.exe

For example:

*Open AllMyNotes.

*Open Notepad and position the windows so they overlap, but each titlebar is still reachable.

*With Notepad active, click on the titlebar of AllMyNotes: Notepad loses focus as it should, but it appears that AllMyNotes doesn't get focus (can still click on

the part of the Notepad's titlebar that should be behind AllMyNotes).


Thank you for detailed steps and the screenshot, thanks to them I'm able to reproduce the issue, from some reason it's inconsistent for me, though it's enough to start working on it. Hopefully in version 2.49 it will be fixed.

Yes, it is still happening on version 2.47. I am using Windows XP SP3 (will be able to try it out on my Win7 desktop soon).

In this pic, I just clicked on the titlebar of AllMyNotes and Notepad lost focus, but as you can see AllMyNotes title font is still grayed, meaning it didn't get focus?

If I click on the editable note itself, AllMyNotes comes immediately into focus and Notepad goes behind...



Maybe this isn't the same issue that I see while alt-tabbing, but it does look and behave the same.



Thanks for the other updates, looking good and much appreciated.

Please sorry for delay with my reply, and thank you for so nicely compiled report . See my answers below.


"mjm" wrote:* Highlighting a section of text, followed immediately by a right click often looses the highlight.


To me it happens only when I do right-click out of selection, this is done to allow some operations on objects under mouse, same does MS-Word, this is expected behavior.

Let me know if it happens to you when you do right-click on selection. In this case also let me know your Windows version.


"mjm" wrote:* Checking off check boxes sometimes causes sections of the list to be highlighted...


Fixed in version 2.46 upon your report (thank you!).

Please try version 2.46, does it still happens? We've improved couple of things in painting routines and optimized performance. If yes, please let me know your Windows version.


"mjm" wrote:* As mentioned elsewhere, font size is "off" (fonts are 1 or 2 times smaller than they should be).


Fixed in version 2.46 upon numerous reports on this forum.



Note: as side effect some old notes may have fonts 25% bigger then before (same font size numbers look bigger, to respect screen DPI resolution better). If this is a case for you please sorry for inconvenience, you can select whole text and use Font Decrease button to change fonts sizes quickly.


"mjm" wrote:* Need "block" or "column" select.


Noted... Cannot promise that we can do it quickly due to big amount of other tasks, what I can tell is that we'll consider it when arrange priorities.

Use Alt+Shift+click on such hyperlink to remove false hyperlink.

An advanced hyperlink editor will be implemented soon.

A few "Annoyances" / nice to have features...
I recently registered Allmynotes and really enjoy / appreciate the program.

After using it for several days, I have made several observations...



Annoyances:



* When minimized to the taskbar, it takes several attempts to make it exit via the taskbar icon pop up menu.



* Highlighting a section of text, followed immediately by a right click often looses the highlight.

I make heavy use of highlighting & copying via the mouse.

It is difficult to explain, but for some reason, in Allmynotes, I often loose the highlight when I right click.

This is minor, and eventually, I will get used to moving the mouse cursor a little left before right clicking...



* Checking off check boxes sometimes causes sections of the list to be highlighted.

With a list of checkboxes and the cursor somewhere in the list, start checking the boxes.

Sometimes, all the text between the location of cursor and the check box you are checking gets highlighted.

* Slow window refresh:

When alt-tabbing from allmynotes to another window that partially covers allmynotes and then

alt-tabbing back to Allmynotes, the window doesn't update right away and part of the other program

window still covers Allmynotes.

Difficult to reproduce, but seems to happen more often when alt-tabbing through several programs?

In the pic below, Allmynotes has focus and even the cursor flashing in the lower right, but the notepad window is still visible...

* As mentioned elsewhere, font size is "off" (fonts are 1 or 2 times smaller than they should be).



Nice to have features:



* Need "block" or "column" select.

Some editors do this via a ctrl or alt (or combination) and some do it via a toolbar toggle icon.

For example, MS Word does it via the ALT key.

* Link underlining often underlines things it shouldn't (or things I don't want underlined).

Like: one.two will be dot underlined.

I would like either better logic when auto-underlining "links" or an option to turn off link underlining all together.



Thanks for the great program...

-Mike
